In 2007, acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino shared his positive reception of the 2002 Indian film 'Kaante.'

The film 'Kaante' featured prominent Bollywood actors including Amitabh Bachchan, Sanjay Dutt, and Suniel Shetty. Both films centered on a group of criminals involved in a bank heist, with internal betrayal playing a key role in the narrative.
